Denomination

Cortona DOC Syrah
Description

Tenuta Montecchiesi's first wine is made from pure Syrah grapes. The vineyards are located in the best plot on the entire estate, Manzano, and the best grapes are produced.
The cultivation system is the “alberello”, bush-trained, system and ensures that the plant grows with a 360° exposure to light and sun. The vineyards are cultivated with biodynamic inspiration with absolute respect for the plant and the land. The result is a wine of the highest quality, made to last.
Vinification

In the cellar, the grapes are once again quality-selected on double sorting tables, both before and after de-stemming. Only the finest-quality grapes are then moved, without pumping, into temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation at 25-28°C, the wine undergoes a 10-15-day maceration at 28°C, for a total period in the tank of 20-25 days. It then completes malolactic in steel.
Maturation

The wine undergoes a 16-month maturation in oak barrels and large casks at a controlled temperature, then it receives 8-10 months’ bottle-ageing before release.
Sensory profile

It appears an intense, near-opaque purple-red. Well-ripened fruit enriches the bouquet, such as dried plum, blackberry, blackcurrant, and blueberry, lifted by notes of candied fruit, chocolate, vanilla, and roasted hazelnut. It opens in the mouth to perfectly integrated tannins, balanced by an appropriate level of alcohol and a judicious acidity. The aromatic finish lingers beautifully.
Serving suggestions

Pairs perfectly with grills and stews, game, and medium- and long-aged cheeses.
